Speaker 1: All right, Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2: So I got a phone call yesterday from somebody that
Speaker 2: wants to hire somebody that I know and actually you
Speaker 2: guys know, and said that they were looking for me
Speaker 2: to give a reference.
Speaker 1: Wait, the person that is looking for the job wanted
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: So the person who's hiring called me up out of
Speaker 2: the blue and said, Hey, I need to ask you
Speaker 2: a question. There's somebody that you know and I want
Speaker 2: to know your thoughts on if I should hire them
Speaker 2: for a position. And I said, okay, who is that?
Speaker 2: They told me the name. And when they told me
Speaker 2: the name, I went, hmmm. Interesting. I was not put
Speaker 2: on their reference. They just called out of the blue,
Speaker 2: which is interesting. It's kind of probably smart, right they
Speaker 2: call up. They don't just call their references, because your
Speaker 2: references are never going to talk crap about you.
Speaker 1: You call people that you never understood that for exactly
Speaker 1: that reason of why you actually have references.
Speaker 3: References of course, are only going to say amazing. Exactly
Speaker 3: You're going to only pick those people.
Speaker 1: Although you know, it's illegal to say a bad thing
Speaker 1: on a reference. Did you know that it is? I
Speaker 1: would be so honest.
Speaker 2: It's illegal to give a bad reference. It's you have
Speaker 2: to say, then you have to say, you know what,
Speaker 2: I declined to give you a reference.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of your way of knowing it.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I just I've always been told
Speaker 2: by HR and stuff to not do it. So let
Speaker 2: me tell you this, is this a reference red flag?
Speaker 2: This person has had three jobs in less than a year,
Speaker 2: So they have had three different jobs in less than
Speaker 2: a year. And I want to ask this question. And
Speaker 2: by the way, it's not that they've had three jobs
Speaker 2: at the same time. They have hired left, hired left,
Speaker 2: and now are in a new position. So is how
Speaker 2: many jobs can you have in a year before it's
Speaker 2: a red flag?
Speaker 1: And I want to do a poll.
Speaker 2: And I put this in my topics and I think
Speaker 2: that I did a really nice job with the uh
Speaker 2: the log was on this thing here. So ask this
Speaker 2: question if you can, Bianca on our story, because I
Speaker 2: think that this is actually an interesting question.
Speaker 1: How many jobs can you have in a year?
Speaker 2: Red flag for two, complete siren for three, or absolutely not.
Speaker 2: I would never hire them if they've had four or
Speaker 2: more jobs.
Speaker 3: I actually wouldn't think anything of two either, but three
Speaker 3: I'd be like Okay, what's the story here.
Speaker 2: So this particular person, do you think that I should
Speaker 2: have read flagged their reference that they've had three jobs
Speaker 2: in a year?
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you not?
Speaker 2: I just said to them, Yeah, I just said to them.
Speaker 2: I said, listen, when when I worked with them, I
Speaker 2: thought it was great. But it obviously wasn't because they laughed.
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, Like it wasn't given
Speaker 1: a bad reference.
Speaker 4: Isn't fully illegal, but it can be if his statements
Speaker 4: you make our misleading, discriminatory, false, or militias. So you
Speaker 4: can be honest in your experience. If it was two
Speaker 4: jobs in a year, I'm not bad in the eyelash,
Speaker 4: Like two jobs is two jobs? Two jobs and two jobs,
Speaker 4: anything could happen.
Speaker 2: They're saying that now nowadays, that that's the big thing
Speaker 2: that a lot of the utes are doing. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: the younger you know, teens and twenty somethings are actually
Speaker 2: working jobs and quitting jobs.
Speaker 1: Like like I like relationships.
Speaker 4: I find yourself and if you are not happy in
Speaker 4: a situation, you have every right to leave, just like
Speaker 4: the company has every right to fire you whenever they want.
Speaker 4: If I'm an employer, though, then you're a liability. But
Speaker 4: if I'm you know, an employee, I'm gonna do what's
Speaker 4: best for me every single time, and I think it
Speaker 4: will catch up. So here's the thing. I agree with
Speaker 4: you one hundred percent. I think it will catch up
Speaker 4: to people if they do it too much because in
Speaker 4: this case, but there are sometimes I know, I know
Speaker 4: some you know companies that are just looking for warm
Speaker 4: bodies and u and it's not even a situation of
Speaker 4: anything other than they just need to have like a
Speaker 4: placeholder or something. But hold on, NICKI is in human resources.
Speaker 4: What do you want to say, Nikki?
Speaker 5: Well, well, I also work in the HR side, and
Speaker 5: my comment is I wouldn't even recommend to call someone
Speaker 5: personally just for as for references, because I feel like
Speaker 5: it's also going to be buyer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think about this situation where they
Speaker 2: called me. I wasn't their reference, but they said that
Speaker 2: they knew that I worked in the past with the person.
Speaker 5: Legally, you're not supposed to, especially if you're not in
Speaker 5: the list.
Speaker 1: That's what I said.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's what you meant by what you were saying. Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, now I understand that that's.
Speaker 5: What I meant.
Speaker 1: Again, but it's okay.
Speaker 5: Where this hr.
Speaker 6: But for me.
Speaker 2: The person actually is a former a former friend who's
Speaker 2: a friend that called me a guy that I knew.
Speaker 2: I never worked with them, but we've been friends for
Speaker 2: a long time time and he's always wanted to work
Speaker 2: with me. But uh, Bob Pittman has always been nicer.
Speaker 1: I've left.
Speaker 2: I've never left Bob Pittman. I I have loyalty to him.
Speaker 2: What's up, Nia? How you doing?
Speaker 7: I am good?
Speaker 1: How are you good?
Speaker 8: Nia?
Speaker 1: What's up? We're talking about how many jobs in a year?
Speaker 1: Is it a red flag?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Well, I hope I'm not a red flag because last
Speaker 7: year I did have three jobs.
Speaker 6: And the thing is, so I had the first job
Speaker 6: I had, I.
Speaker 7: Had been there already for nine months, and I told myself,
Speaker 7: I don't want to have been there a year because
Speaker 7: this is like not what I want to do and
Speaker 7: I don't want to get like comfortable here. So that's
Speaker 7: why I decided to leave there. And I decided and
Speaker 7: I got my next job. But then there was like
Speaker 7: a situation there with somebody and like my husband was like,
Speaker 7: you just need to leave this toxic environment. And that's
Speaker 7: when I got my third job, but then I ended
Speaker 7: up getting fired from there because I was a teacher
Speaker 7: aide and I one I had in a situation where
Speaker 7: I didn't know one of my students was wasn't with me.
Speaker 1: So yeah, oh what you I'm not gonna lie this.
Speaker 3: This all sounds like credit flag.
Speaker 1: We won't get into it. I don't know. Hold on
Speaker 1: a second, Marlene was going in the morning, well not hired.
Speaker 8: Hi, Hi, I just want to tell you. You know,
Speaker 8: you can't judge a book by its cover, and you
Speaker 8: can't judge it by how many jobs I've had, baby,
Speaker 8: because I'm a nurse and I've had to hire on
Speaker 8: seven different home care companies because every time I hired
Speaker 8: it on got an orientation. They didn't have any work,
Speaker 8: sometimes for a month, and they show me a lousy
Speaker 8: two hours work. Can eat and pay their bills on that.
Speaker 8: They have been forced to get seven different jobs.
Speaker 1: In it okay, and it.
Speaker 8: Sucks, man. I got guess what yesterday?
Speaker 6: I prayed.
Speaker 8: My daughter went through one cancer surgery, chemo.
Speaker 6: And then she got off a cruise to celebrate her
Speaker 6: life with her husband.
Speaker 8: She went numb.
Speaker 6: They took her to the hospital. She had two brain tumors.
Speaker 6: They had to operate.
Speaker 8: She's now home healing and these and and you know what,
Speaker 8: I went through, all this skill working, fighting my tears
Speaker 8: and telling these people what's going on. Heartlessness can be
Speaker 8: and they're in the medical field. I cannot tell you
Speaker 8: what hell I get through. My dad died a year
Speaker 8: ago and it left me with one third of income
Speaker 8: that I can't even live on. So I am forced
Speaker 8: to work jobs because my so superity is are enough.
Speaker 8: So I cannot tell you how much this made me
Speaker 8: upset because I was listening to this and thinking, you
Speaker 8: guys don't even.
Speaker 6: Know what people go through. Why doesn't he have six
Speaker 6: or seven or eight.
Speaker 8: Or what they deliver?
Speaker 5: You know what the job?
Speaker 3: Your story is very different than the previous caller. If
Speaker 3: you told somebody that story, that is that is so
Speaker 3: different than you know. Obviously there are different situations, Marlene.
Speaker 2: Are you Are you gonna wake up today though and
Speaker 2: make it a good day.

Speaker 6: Well, Joe, how are you doing?
Speaker 1: Fantastic? What's going on?
Speaker 6: I have a question for you. You contradicted yourself.
Speaker 1: What did I do?
Speaker 8: First?
Speaker 6: First you said when they called, you said that person
Speaker 6: worked with you, You had no issue.
Speaker 8: But then later on you said, yeah, he's always wanted
Speaker 8: to work for me, but he never.
Speaker 5: Had the chance to.
Speaker 2: And I was talking about the guy that's that's hiring.
Speaker 2: So the person that the person that is hiring has
Speaker 2: always wanted to work with me and we never got
Speaker 2: a chance to do that. The person that he was
Speaker 2: calling about had been somebody that had been in my
Speaker 2: past that they were calling to ask if they should hire,
Speaker 2: and I said, I think you should. They seem like
Speaker 2: they would be great. They were great with me until
Speaker 2: they were't they you know, until they left. So that's
Speaker 2: what it was talking about sharing. So I think you
Speaker 2: misheard what I was saying.
Speaker 6: All right, yeah, thanks for clearing that up. Good one.
Speaker 1: How about that Marlene. By the way, I don't know
Speaker 1: about you, but.
Speaker 2: I say a prayer for Marlene today in shery Anne,
Speaker 2: her daughter. I should have done another topic. This topic sucks.
Speaker 2: I like, what's going on in our Leicester? What's happening?
Speaker 6: Good morning? They had birthday to my grandson Joe Fia.
Speaker 1: That's right, Josiah, what's going on?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: What's your comment?
Speaker 6: Okay? I gave a personal reference to my friends. Over
Speaker 6: thirty years, she would move into a home and the
Speaker 6: lady called and asked when she'd be a good tenant,
Speaker 6: and I told him no, because her children were heathen
Speaker 6: out the windows, yeah, tear up the doors. They would
Speaker 6: just destroy proppies every house she lived and they destroyed
Speaker 6: every house back up the toilet. They would have to
Speaker 6: condemn the houses by the time they moved out. He
Speaker 6: had six children.
Speaker 1: Wow, she lose the house, do you? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, she lost every house and so she doesn't know.
Speaker 6: She died too. Blast note she knows now.
Speaker 7: That it was you, but she's dead now.
Speaker 1: She's listening us right now. He did.
Speaker 2: Well, that's wild though, if you knew that your friend
Speaker 2: was a red person, I would definitely all right. Well,
Speaker 2: I don't think we have the answer. I think everybody's uh,
Speaker 2: this person got the job or not.
Speaker 1: They haven't been offered yet. I don't know.
Speaker 2: That was just doing his due diligence. So I said
Speaker 2: to him, I go, hey, I go, here's the deal.
Speaker 2: I go, you got to take what you can take. Nowadays,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, I feel like it's crazy.
Speaker 1: You know, look at us. We ended up settling Verano
Speaker 1: over here. You know what I mean. We love you
Speaker 1: are you are the diamond in the rough. I think
Speaker 1: I might this
